Prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in HIV-Infected Children

NCT00037076 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 600

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out how many children who are infected with HIV are also infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV).

HCV infection is a major health concern. HIV-infected adults who are co-infected with HCV appear to have more rapid HIV disease progression. There is little data on how widespread HCV is among children who are HIV-infected. Information from this study will help determine the need for future HCV studies. This study also will obtain blood samples for future testing for other hepatitis viruses such as hepatitis G virus (HGV or GB virus C).
